Questions
What is FUN3? Why do I not see U10 as an option?
As part of the Children’s Ringette program evolving one of the things is to make all of the age divisions as part of the FUNDAMENTALS. This means that there are some language changes. Here is a guide to registering and then checking to see what ice times your child may have for the season. IF your child is:
4-5 years old or a brand new skater– FUN1
6-7 years old– FUN2
8-9 years old– FUN 3 (previously (and you still may see it) called U10)
It is important to note that there can be movement amongst these divisions throughout the season as it is based on skating and ringette experience.
Schedules
Please note that these schedules are tentative!! For example, during powerskating, the FUN2’s have moved to share the ice with the FUN3’s.
Once the season begins, I will make note of the changes in red on the schedule and make a note on the website. The most up to date ones are attached. You can always find them under the schedules tab.
Ringette Sticks
We will have a limited supply of sticks (mostly FUN size) for sale. Please contact Terry at equipment@pgringette.ca if you are interested.
Photos
If you have any great photos from last season or previous seasons, please send them to president@pgringette.ca. I am working on the new website and would love to feature the fun we have playing ringette.
